<logged on under my network account...>, does it mean you are logged on
using a DOMAIN account (I guess not), or a local account?
You said you were an administrator on both machines, right? This can only be
true if:
- you are logged on using a DOMAIN administrators account that is a member
of the remote and the local machines administrators group, or
- you are logged on as a local administrator who has a shadow account on the
remote machine.
A shadows account is an account with the same credentials
(username/password) having the same privileges (so a member of
administrators in your case).

Hope it clears things up now,
